Turf War

INT. AMERICAN BAR (BADA-BING TYPE PLACE)

MAFIOSO 1:
I hear a lot of talk.

MAFIOSO 2:
What do you hear?

MAFISOS 1:
'Bout a turf war, with those red nose f**ks from The Bronx.

MAFIOSO 2:
The Clownbeano crew.

MAFIOSO 1:
Dat's them... I hear Luigi woke up this morning.

MAFIOSO 2:
What's so odd about that? Luigi wakes up every morning, well, nine times outta ten.

MAFIOSO 1:
What about the other one time?

MAFIOSO 2:
He doesn't wake up.

MAFIOSO 1:
Ok, but this morning he woke up with a horses head in his bed.

MAFIOSO 2:
That's standard Cosa Nostra procedure.

MAFIOSO 1:
It was a pantomime horses head, though.... those Clownbeano f**ks.

MAFIOSO 2:
Will we organise a drive by on them?

MAFIOSO 1:
Nah, they've got a bulletproof clown car.

MAFIOSO 2:
Hey, I've got an idea.

MAFIOSO 1:
I'm all muthaf**kin' ears.

MAFIOSO 2:
So's Will Smith.

MAFIOSO 1 PULLS OUT A GUN AND FIRES IT POINT BLANK AT MAFIOSO 2. IT SQUIRTS HIM IN THE FACE.

It's nice & silly with some great lines, but the pay off seems more of a get out quick.
It might work better to explore the funny premise a bit more.

The pantomime horse's head in the bed is pure gold.

The rest I could take or leave, to be honest.

I think Steve makes a good point. It's a great idea though. :D

Might thoughts as well. There is a an idea here worth exploring, but I think you need to find another angle on it. Maybe more show, less tell.
